You actually have all the right to keep your head up and just like Galliani said atleast Milan didn't let the Italian football down. That said that Milan didn't give it all to deserve to be in Paris.
I have to disagree here with you, Juventus can't be compared to the likes of Inter or Bayern, the team we lost last year to won the Champions League and the team that knocked us out this year are already packing their stuff to go to Paris. It's true Juventus didn't deserve to qualify to the last 8 but It's actually an Insult to compare Juve to the likes of Inter and Bayern.
Anyhow It seems another trophy-less year for your team, hopefully your team can keep on concentrating on the Champions League each year and exit with "free hands"...
Hard Luck, Nick.
Hard luck indeed but what doesn't KILL YA only makes you stronger...there is a reason we are and continue to be the team that is most present in the CL..and we shall continue to be...form is temporary..class is permanent.
Sure the empty handed case is a bitter pill to swallow because we have had incredible teams that lost it all in one-two games...teams that entertained, teams that played with heart and teams that made Europe stop saying the word "catenaccio" to Italians.
You cannot begin to compare Juve's CL campaign to Milan's...Juve didn't FIGHT..didn't play and like most in Europe presume...the ITALIAN ARROGANCE got the best of them
Eliminated by Liverpool without so much as a goal...
Squeked by Werder on a horrible error and gave NOTHING absolutely NOTHING against Arsenal..
its one thing losing to the Champions or a team with momentum..its another thing just being another statistic year after year when you claim to be the best Italy has to offer....
There comes a point when the criticism on the Italian game from the rest of Europe begins to ring true all thanks to Juve's CL campaigns
